CHILD SAFETY: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag

(3/3)

Operating faults

It is prohibited to fit a rear-facing child

seat to the front passenger seat if the

front passenger airbags activation/

deactivation system shows a fault.
Allowing any other passenger to sit in

that seat is not recommended.

If warning lights

›

and

are

lit at the same time.
Contact your approved dealer as soon

as possible.

Activating the front

passenger airbags

You should reactivate the airbags as

soon as you remove the child seat from

the front passenger seat to ensure the

protection of the front passenger in the

event of an impact.
To reactivate the airbags : when the

vehicle is stationary, push and turn

lock 1 to position ON.
With the ignition on, it is essential to

check that warning light 4

›

is lit

on the central display, and that it goes

out after a few seconds.

The passenger airbag must

only be deactivated or acti-

vated when the vehicle is

stationary.

If it is interfered with when the ve-

hicle is being driven, indicator lights

and

will come on.

Switch the ignition off then on again

to reset the airbag in accordance

with the lock position.

DANGER
Since front passenger

airbag triggering and the

position of a rear-facing

child seat are incompatible, NEVER

use a restraining device for rear-

facing children on a seat with an

ACTIVATED AIRBAG in front of it.

This could lead to the DEATH of the

CHILD, or SERIOUS INJURY.

1.51

Operating faults
The steering may become stiff when

driving or when the steering wheel is

turned repeatedly. This is due to the

power assistance overheating. In this

case, it must be allowed to cool down.

Power-assisted steering

Variable power-assisted steering
The variable power-assisted steering

system is equipped with an electronic

control system which alters the level of

assistance to suit the vehicle speed.
Steering is made easier during parking

manoeuvres (for added comfort) whilst

the force needed to steer increases

progressively as the speed rises (for

enhanced safety at high speeds).

STEERING WHEEL/POWER-ASSISTED STEERING

Height and reach adjustment

Pull lever 1 and move the steering

wheel to the required position.
Then, push the lever back fully, beyond

the point of resistance to lock the steer-

ing wheel.
Make sure that the steering wheel is

correctly locked.

For safety reasons, only

adjust the steering wheel

when the vehicle is station-

ary.

Never leave the steering wheel at

full lock while stationary.

Never switch off the igni-

tion when travelling down-

hill, and avoid doing so in

normal driving (assistance

is not provided).

With the engine switched off, or if

there is a system fault, it is still pos-

sible to turn the steering wheel. The

force required will be greater.

resetting

The values showing average fuel con-

sumption, range and average speed

will become more stable and reliable

the further you travel after pressing the

reset button.
For the first few miles after pressing

the reset key you will notice that the

range increases as you travel. This

range takes into account the average

fuel consumption since the last time the

reset button was pressed. Therefore,

the average fuel consumption may de-

crease when:
–

the vehicle stops accelerating;

–

the engine reaches its operating

temperature (if the engine was cold

when the reset key was pressed);

–

when driving from an urban area

onto the open road.

Automatic resetting of the

journey parameters

Resetting occurs automatically when

the maximum value of any of the pa-

rameters is exceeded.
